Overview of 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells

The 12 gauge is the most used shotgun shell today, and it has existed in its current cartridge configuration since the late 1800s. Twelve gauge rounds, often seen as 12ga, are used in various situations, including hunting birds and small game, recreational shooting, and home defense.

These ammunitions provide various options in close quarters but don’t perform well at long-distance shots because the projectiles quickly lose their velocity; they require a close-range target, typically 45 yards or less.

What are the most popular 12 Gauge brands you sell?

For those looking to buy in bulk, check out our 100 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun shells for better value on larger quantities.

The left sidebar allows you to filter our entire selection to see which brands we currently have in stock and available using the Manufacturers filter. You can also filter by attributes such as Pellet Type, Load Weight, Shell Length, and Shot Material to find what you need.

Customer Reviews

  • Debra said:

    Great buy and was here in just a few days! I will be shopping here again. Just waiting for the ammo I need to be restocked. Thank you so much.

  • dakitan said:

    shoots great holds a good pattern would buy again. but then i already did

  • Dave said:

    Good ammo at a fair price worked well in my pump and semi auto. The only down fall I see is I wish the wad covered the shot so the lead wouldn't dirty the barrel as much. Over all very happy.

  • Tazz said:

    Great Ammo, I am looking forward to buying more in the future!!!

  • Dave said:

    I bought this ammo for a good price, Shot a few boxes shot and cycled flawlessly. Would recommend to a friend.

  • MICHELLE said:

    In a recent tactical training session with my RIA VR-80, I wanted to test out the BioAmmo I had ordered before consuming more expensive Black Tactical 00. Out of 150 BioAmmo #4 rounds used there was 1 FTF and 1 FTE which I considered quite acceptable. Performance and reliability was at least as good as Federal ammo I had used prior to replenishment with BioAmmo, and the price really could not be beat. Will be reordering another 250 round package because it is such a great value, particularly for practice purposes.

  • Mark A said:

    This ammo is just as good if not better than the big name brands. It does exactly what it should do every time, so far . Great ammo, good price, great performance,and AMMO .COM is EXCELLENT!!

  • Mark said:

    These shells are great. Great price,great performance and an EXCELLENT company to buy from.

  • sixftmoose said:

    I have always trusted Federal ammo to be good quality and this 12 gauge ammo once again proves to me that Federal knows what they are doing when it comes to making ammo! I have had no problems what so ever with any of the ammo I purchased from Ammo.com and I'm a life long customer after dealing with them, the ammo arrived quickly and has served its purpose. I used the ammo in my brand new Mossberg 500 and it cycled properly with no problems, consistent pattern, reasonable recoil and came in a handy little ammo can in great shape (Nice little bonus if you ask me!) I would recommend this ammo to anyone looking for a good quality 00 Buck.

  • Hondobob said:

    I've gone through two cans of this excellent shotgun ammo without complaint. It cycles just fine in my old Winchester 1897, High Standard Supermatic, and a Norinco clone of the Colt 1878 side-by-side. Good patterns and power with manageable recoil. Some ammo cans are loaded with 25-round boxes, others with smaller boxes, but always a total of 175 rounds. An excellent choice for hunting or defense. I'm buying more when it's available.

  • Johnny said:

    I needed some ammo with a little more oomph for my Benelli SBE3 because standard "target" ammo tended to jam. I had zero jams with this ammo and hit virtually everything I shot at. I will definitely be ordering more. The quality and performance was very good.

  • John said:

    The ammo was great I am going to purchase more

  • GEORGE said:

    I was not disappointed with this ammo. Shoots and ejects just fine---Thank You for this great product.

  • joker said:

  • joseph said:

    good

  • ed said:

    great stuff

  • Hunter said:

    This ammo has performed as I expected. Great value.

  • Russell said:

    Works great in my mossberg 940 tactical.

  • Dave said:

    Reviewed alot of u tube videos regarding this ammo. I purchased 12ga and 20ga and both performed flawlessly out of my mossberg 590 and sa 20 guns. The pattern itself is perfect for what I want in a home defense round. 10yds 1" - 1-1/4" , 20 yds 3" - 3-1/2", 40 yds 9"- 10" pattern. No fliers. Very impressive ammo.

  • George said:

    Shot 2" groups at 50 yds. Fun for range day and hitting melons. Not super expensive.

  • JOHNTHEFOX said:

    FEDERAL AND CENTURION 2 3/4" HP SLUGS SHOOT EXACTLY THE SAME! CENTURION IS CHEAPER AND CANNOT BE FOUND. FEDERAL 2 3/4" HP SLUGS WILL KILL DEER UP TO 110 YARDS. IF YOU WISH TO IMPROVE ACCURACY THEN GET YOUR BARREL CRYOED AT 300BELOW.COM. I'VE HAD MY GUNS AND KNIVES CRYOED THERE FOR 30 YEARS AND I'VE NEVER HAD A BAD RESULT! I CAN PUT THE FIRST 2 SLUGS IN TE SAME HOLE SHOOTING FREEHAND. THE THIRD IS 2"S TO THE RIGHT OF THE SECOND SHOT.

  • Bang-Bang Tazzzmanik said:

    Will order more products in the near future. Very happy with service and product and price. Thanks.

  • scot said:

    these guys are awsome, it takes 5 days for me to get ammo, BUT i live on the west coast, so thats no problem. i shot 10 ronds without any problems.

  • William said:

    Good price and great ammo what else can you ask for. Oh and fast shipping!

  • Gunslinger said:

    These shells are longer than 2 3/4" but shorter than 3", which means you'll one less in your tube magazine than expected. So just treat them like 3" shells.

  • adam said:

    Slugs are seated in the shell casing so crooked, that the shape of the case itself is warped into an oval instead of circular. Do not buy.

  • Will said:

    These were cheap. All the slugs are crooked in the casings, im not sure how this is supposed to be accurate. result was, as expected, very inaccurate. Fine for close range only.

  • Tinacn said:

    When I bought a used Mossberg-manufactured12ga fully rifled slug barrel for my Remington 870, I bought several different brands and loadings of slugs to pattern from the bench. These slugs shot the tightest groups of ANY I tried, had manageable recoil and were among the least expensive per round. I had Brenneke-style slugs, plain rifled Foster unsaboted slugs, as well as a couple of the newer saboted, all copper and copper hollow-point types costing $3-$4 or more per round. Some 2 3/4" and some 3". I see no reason to sue any other brand or load in my particular shotgun.

  • Mike said:

    FedEx either dropped it off on the street or FedEx employee stole the package. I will never order online again

  • The Busterdog said:

    Remington always makes excellent clean shot shells.

  • Stepper4jesus said:

    Good shells, always a fun experience, never a misfire and surprisingly really accurate so yay to Winchester
